This will probably be uncomfortable for all of us.

What You’ve Suspected Is True: Billionaires Are Not Like Us

And this is really true of any futuristic apocalypse scenario. If you can terraform Mars to have a thick oxygen atmosphere, why not just do that to Earth? Even if you smash an ice comet into Earth and destroy basically everything, Earth will still be more habitable than Mars! It'll still have roughly the right atmospheric pressure, and magnetic field, and heat balance, and it'll still have whatever life the comet didn't kill... Same with a starshade to cool Venus. Same with excavating asteroids into city-stations. Same with abandoning Sol System entirely and heading to another star. If an ark-ship arrived in a new star system and found Earth-but-choked-by-climate-change, the crew would be ecstatic. They would never have thought to get that lucky. So why bother with the trip? Just stay and fix the damn Earth.

Of course, the problem with that is that people are people wherever you are. Whoever you bring along will annoy you sooner or later. We are evolved to work in groups, so being solitary forever on another planet isn't workable either. It's better to come to terms with the fact that we individually and socially need better tools for dwelling with one another and do the work to learn them.
